"Fireflies" is a song by Owl City. The song gained worldwide success in late 2009 and early 2010.[1]
Mike, Alex, Christian, Nick and Joey, Cimorelli's five brothers, covered the song, but it also features autotune and harmonies by Lisa. Lisa put this together because of many questions from fans asking whether or not their brothers sang also.[2] It was uploaded to Lisa's YouTube channel on May 19, 2010.
Lisa included a link to download the song, which is here.
Lyrics
Alex:
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
Mike:
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
Christian:
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
Mike:
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
Alex:
When I fall asleep
Joey:
Leave my door open just a crack (Alex: Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac (Alex: Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep (Alex: Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
Nick:
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I keep a few in a jar
Mike:
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
Alex:
When I fall asleep
Mike:
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
Alex:
When I fall asleep
Mike:
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never what it seem
